Chapter 7: Temptation

Shoving his hands in his pockets, Miroku stalked down the sidewalk. He never understood why he went there every year. It was never a place he planned to visit and yet he always went to the temple where his mother was murdered. He'd stand there in front of the torii gates, imagining the horrifying sight he saw as a child.

He could still imagine the puddle of blood beneath her feet and the number of wires that cut through her skin as she hung high above the ground. He remembered standing there watching her lifeless body. So why he would torture himself with the agony of going to such an awful place was beyond him.

Now he was walking towards Sango's apartment with the rain drowning the world around him. Passing Kagome's shrine on the way, he stopped at the sight in front of him. It was Kikyo. Never once had he known Kikyo to be in town on her father's anniversary. So why now?

He watched her dash away from a car as if it was the plague. His eyes drifted to the driver. It was a man he had never seen before with the most cynical grin on his face. The driver pulled away without even glancing his way. Miroku knew this should mean nothing, but he couldn't help but to feel this man was no good.


She stood in the doorway, as her father and brother played some sort of video game. Sango watched them, they were happy and laughing. Anger boiled in her slightly, how could they be happy on this day? Slowly, she shut the door as she wondered if they had even visited her mother today.

"Sango." her father called out to her. "Kikyo stopped by. She wanted to say hi to you, that sweet girl."

She froze slightly, "Did she say anything else?"

"Just to tell you that she'll be starting school with you tomorrow." He didn't bother looking at her.

"She's going to Horai…" Sango sighed, knowing this could not be good.

Kohaku nudged their father, "Don't forget the package."

"Oh yeah." their dad laughed.

"What package?" she asked.

Her dad glanced at her. "She brought you a present from China. I think she left it on your bed."

Sango quickly left her family before finding her way to her room. Laying on her bed was a manila envelope. Her heart was racing as she picked it up. Opening it with her hands shaking she pulled out some papers. There, on top, was a note:

Because you are becoming soft.

-K

Swallowing the lump in her throat, she went to the next page. She fell to her knees as she stared at the picture. It was a photo of her mother's life less body, completely covered in blood. Tears fell from her eyes as she remembered everything that happed all those years ago.

She remembered walking in to her home, after an eventful day with her father. Dinner and fun at the carnival. And then there in the middle of the living room she laid. Her mother. Dead. Sango remembered hugging her body, ruining her favorite dress. It was the worst memory Sango had.

Quickly, she threw the papers under her bed as her door opened. Her eyes darted up to the doorway as Miroku stood there leaning again the frame. His expression was purely sad, and he was dripping wet.

"Don't you ever knock." She snapped, standing to her feet.

"I-" he sighed, "you're crying." He took a step forward, pulling her into his arms.

"Hey!" She pushed on his chest, trying to get away.

"I went to the temple again." He said softly, against her hair.

He felt her body relax before she place her arms around his torso. She knew he was in a similar situation as her. Sango had always refused to cry in front of him. Yet today tears fell down her face and onto his shirt.

Lightly she stepped back, "I'll get you a towel."


The rain poured around Kagome, she tried to cover the flowers in the garden. Glancing up she spotted her twin coming up the stairs to the shrine. She took a deep breath as she prepared herself for her sister. Yet Kikyo merely passed her, not acknowledging her existence. Then Kikyo opened her umbrella and placed it over their younger brother.

"Sota. You should be inside." She said in her usual tone.

The young boy laughed, "I'm fine sis."

"Kikyo." her mother's sweet voice called out in the rain greeting her sister.

"Hello Mother." Kikyo barely took her attention off Sota. "Why don't you two go inside. Kagome and I can finish here."

Their mother smiled, "Actually, I do believe we are finished." She wrapped her arms around her daughter. "Why don't we get you some warm tea."

Kagome sighed; she quickly covered the rest of the flowers, before following after them. Entering the house she saw Kikyo had already volunteer to make the tea. Her mom and Kikyo were chatting about China. Sota was listening with interest.

Leaning against the counter she waited for a break in the conversation before she spoke up. "I think I'll be heading back to Horai, now."

"Oh! All right." Their mother smiled, at her before turning her attention to Kikyo. "Will you be going with her tonight?"

"No. I'll be staying here. Mister Nishimura is still finding me a room." Kikyo's cold voice answered her.

Secretly, Kagome was relieved. She didn't think she could bare being alone with Kikyo. Her very own sister.


Kagome walked into the library, hoping to find someone she knew. In one of the aisle she found Inuyasha. He was putting away books muttering to himself. The scene caused her to giggle making him to snap his attention to her.

"What the hell are you laughing about, wench?" he looked away embarrassed.

"Hey, don't be so rude!" She told him. "What are you doing any ways?"

"My old man is making me work in the library. Something about learning something." He rolled his eyes.

Quietly, she walked up to the cart that was beside him, picked up some book and began placing them on the shelves. "Disciple maybe?"

"Keh. You don't have to help." He mumbled.

She rolled her eyes. "That's what friends do Inuyasha."

He paused to look her way. "So what are you doing here?"

"It's too sad at home." She said.

He nodded, able to relate to her all to well. Silence grew between them. Quietly, they put the books away.

"Oh hey." He finally spoke up as the last book made it's way on the shelf.

Kagome looked at him. "Yeah?"

"My dad wanted me to let you know that Rin won't be staying here tonight." He stretched the back of his head. "I told him I wasn't some damn messenger. But what ever."

"Is everything alright?" She sounded a bit worried for her friend.

"Nah. She just got rained out, so she staying the night with Sesshomaru." He started pushing the cart away.

"What?" Kagome yelled, nearly bursting his eardrums.


Rin looked towards the window, the rain was hitting the glass hard. Once again she found that she was unable to sleep, even in the overly comfortable bed. Her mind was not resting. Normally, it had to do with her parents, but tonight it seemed that a certain demon was on her mind. She blushed as her thoughts went back to her teacher.

Sighing, she hoped that a drink might help her drift to sleep. With the hum of rain singing in her ears she made her way out of the room. Trying to remember her way around this house was almost impossible. She turned right and hoped for the best. As she walked down the long hall she noticed a light was on. Carefully, she continued down the hall noticing it was the actual way to the kitchen. Sitting at one of the bar stools once again was her teacher.

Even in the dim light he was beautiful.

"Can't sleep?" Her voice suddenly broke the silence. She bit her lip as she realize how she spoke without even a thought.


He made no effort to look up. Sesshomaru knew of the girl's presence even before she knew of his. Her sweet scent filled his nostrils, reminding him of her previous image. The very one that caused his unwanted arousal. And her voice! God her voice. He could just picture her sweet sighs against his ears as he toke her to be his. Not to mention how openly she spoke to him sent something through him that he could not explain.

"I don't sleep in others houses." He told her as he tried to focus on his task at hand. He stared blankly at the paper in front of him as he tried to remember what exactly he was doing before she entered the room.

"But it's your mothers place." She softly said, a hint of confusion in her voice.

"I do not live here, girl." Perhaps calling her such a name with diminish his attraction to her.

"Where do you live?" He heard feet lightly pat against the tiled floor as she walked across the kitchen.

Instantly, his mind began to wonder. He thought of her laying beneath him in his own bed at his very ordinary apartment. She would definitely bring color to his dull life-

Quietly, he growled kicking out all of his thoughts.

"Not to far from here." He continued to refuse to look at her.

"I see." He scent grew stronger as she walked closer to where he sat. "What are you doing?"

He forced a lung full of air out of his nostrils as he tried to dilute some of her scent. "Grading papers, Rin."

He could smell the embarrassment that radiated off the human. Curiosity fell over him and he forced himself to look at the girl. There was a blush across her face, that only highlighted her innocents. Her hair was tussled from laying in bed and her beautiful brown eyes looked away from him. Her silk shirt clang to her petite torso revealing her braless figure. Sesshomaru harden at the sight, his nails digging into the solid counter top.

After a moment she spoke again, "Do you have anything I could do? Just until I get sleepy."

He looked from her before she could notice his stare. He knew he should say no. He should tell her to leave or go to bed. But he couldn't. He wanted her to stay.

"You could finish these test." He put the stack of papers beside him. "The key is on the top." He instructed.

Hesitating slightly, she finally made her way to the seat beside him. He curse to himself, he should have pushed those papers over farther. Now she was deathly close to him. Her scent was driving him mad.

Why the hell was this happening?

Carefully, Sesshomaru pretended to read the essays in front of him knowing that he couldn't focus with her next to him. She was even close enough to where he could feel the heat that her tiny body gave off.

She was a human! Why the hell was he responding this way to the girl? The throbbing member in his pants was beginning to piss him off. And he couldn't explain why this was happening.

"Mister Nishimura?" Her voice quietly called out.

Though he chose to ignore it. He needed to figure out a reason to get away from the human.

"Mister Nishimura?" She said a bit louder obviously wanting his attention.

He keep thinking of an excuse. Honestly, he could simply say he was going to the bathroom and she wouldn't question him.

"Sesshomaru!" Her tiny hand lightly touched his arm.

It was nearly instant, her slight tough sent a wave of excitement throughout his body. His muscles tensed as every fiber in body was drowned in arousal. The simple touch on her tiny, hand sent him into hell. He had never wanted someone more in his whole life.

Standing on his own feet, Sesshomaru knocked his chair on to the ground with a loud bang. Rin jumped back startled as Sesshomaru abruptly moved closer to her taking a hold of her hips with his large hands.

Rin squirmed against his hold, "Sesshomaru!" She cried out as the demon found his way between her legs.

She fought against him until the demon leaned forward and growled against her neck. Suddenly, Rin relaxed against him. He pulled away from her she looked in his eyes that were painted red from the arousal. It didn't frighten her like she thought it would, instead her hand drifted up and touched his cheek. His eye's closed as he leaned into her hand.

Without warning to Rin, the demon pressed his swollen member against her sex. Her blushed deepened causing a grin to form on his face. He could smell her arousal building up under his touch. He wondered to himself if he had the same effect on the human as she did on him. In one swift movement, he pulled on her hips causing her sex to fully caress his length.

A small whimper escaped her lips.

He knew she was not used to such feelings. "No one has ever touched you this way have they Rin?" he lightly growled with a slight purr on her name.

Rin took in a sharp breath. "I've never even been kissed."

He loved her innocence. She was completely his to take. With that thought lingering in his head he crashed his lips against hers, stealing her first kiss. She moaned and threw her arms around his neck welcoming the kiss. He was amazed at how soft her plump lips were against his own. His experience showed in the kiss, though the girl was smart enough to copy his movements. Rin even found a small rhythm to move her hips to against him.

As his hand moved from her hips to her nape, becoming tangled in her messy locks, he parted her lips. His tongue brushed against hers in a strong fit of dominance. He growled against her mouth as he realized that her moistened core was dampening his pants.

He took his free hand and placed it under her silk shirt lightly touching the soft skin of her stomach. Before she could even react he cupped her firm breast, brushing her budded nipple with his thumb. She pulled away from his kiss, throwing her head back. A loud moan escaped her lips making him grin as he nipped at her neck.

Loving the response she gave him at his touch he lightly pinched her nipple, rolling it between his fingers. He wanted her to call out his name, screaming under his pleasure. When another small whimper escaped from the human, he ripped her shirt off her petite torso without a second thought. Sesshomaru found himself loving the way her boobs bounced at his action. He wasted no time taking her nipple into the warmth of his mouth.

"Sesshomaru!" She breathed his name while she arched her back, pressing her sex lustfully against his member. She reached up and dug her nails into his shoulders, scratching down his strong muscles.

A deep, pleasure filled growled rumbled against her skin. He gripped each of her hands and pinned them to her side. His teeth nipped at her breast before he said, "Unless you wish to feel the full effect of a demon, I would not do that again if I were you."

His dominating gesture made the human shrink down and whimpered. Interested, he waited wondering what the human would do. She stared deep into his eyes, then slowly he allowed her to inch her hands out his grip. Lightly, she moved up to where her fingers could brush against the markings on his cheek. Rin laid a small kiss on his lips before trailing down his neck. He could feel her he moist soft lips on him.

"What about this?" she whispered before her teeth lightly sank in his skin.

Growling, his hand moved up, gripping her throat. Sesshomaru pushed her away from him causing her teeth to scrap on his skin. "Rin!" he warned her.

His mouth crashed down on her, gnawing at her chest with more aggression. He left deep bruises on her breast. His fangs scrapped across her skin leaving long red trails. In a swift moment he tore off the rest of her attire. She pouted as she realized his pulsating member was no longer pressed against her. His hand move to her thighs caressing her as he looked up into her eyes. He saw desire and pleasure staring back at him.

Rin leaned forward catching his mouth. She kissed him with passion telling him she was hungry for more. His hands moved to the inside of her thighs teasing her with his claws. They trailed up her legs lightly brushing against her core. Again he heard that innocent whimper that he seemed to love. His fingers lightly traced the lines of her lips. He could feel how moist he made her. Sesshomaru's long, slender fingers pushed into her delicate folds.

Her whimper was expressed louder as she pulled him against her hiding her face with in his neck. Grinning, he continued his fingers drew small circles on her sensitive nub. She cried out against his ear causing another rumble in his throat. Sesshomaru nearly chuckled when she pulled away from him and kissed him sloppily.

"Sesshomaru," they both froze at his mother's voice, "tell me, what kind of after school activity is this?"

Quickly, Rin cried out in embarrassment while covering her chest and crashing against Sesshomaru, hiding from the demoness. Protectively, Sesshomaru wrapped his arms around the human holding her close.

InuKimi leaned against one of the walls, looking highly amused. "I must ask you to stop fondling your student, my son."

"Leave." Sesshomaru ordered with a growl.

The smirk on her face widen a bit. "Sesshomaru-"

There was a louder growl, meant to warn her. "I said leave."

Her grin fall as she returned the threatening rumble. "You will step away from the human, Sesshomaru." She moved forward to show she meant it.

"I do not fear you mother." He told her.

"Perhaps you will fear me then." The baritone voice caused Sesshomaru to growl.

"Father-" Sesshomaru started.

"Step away from her or I will remove you from your post." InuTaisho's face was deadly serious.

His father gave him an ultimatum. He could stay with Rin and lose his job as a teacher, voiding their deal or stay with her. He growled at his father, before releasing his hold of. He couldn't look at her as he walked away. All he could do was leave the house entirely.
